12	** Avery Bullock has moments of this, both to Hayley in a brief fling, and later to ''his cat''.
13	-->'''Bullock:''' ''(threatening his cat)'' You think you're better than me? You're not better than me! You're going to learn a hard lesson!
14	** As a double standard, Hayley Smith tends to be the dumper, but not used to being the dump''ee''. When she gets dumped, things get ugly. '''''[[UnstoppableRage Really ugly.]]''''' Case in point: when she was little, a boy she liked ended up falling for the new girl, resulting in her going on a rampage and killing the class hamster. According to Stan, "the autopsy showed the hamster was ''pregnant''." When she starts dating Stan's body double, Bill, she worries what she might do if ''he'' dumped her.

Roger's response is to shoot her. And that's only the beginning. He visits Hayley at the hospital and gives her an apology gift, Music/ChristinaAguilera's larynx (since Hayley said she wished she could sing like Aguilera). When Hayley rejects Roger's gift, he kidnaps her, ties her to a bed and plans to [[FlayingAlive cut off her skin]] and [[GenuineHumanHide wear it]]. Jeff intervenes in the nick of time, but Roger just ends up skinning Jeff instead.
19	* Sadira in Disney's ''WesternAnimation/AladdinTheSeries'' is a "street rat" like Aladdin was, and falls for Aladdin the way he did for Jasmine, but, since he's in love with Jasmine he refuses her.

In response to his statement that the Joker doesn't love her she denies this and tries to kill him in a tearful rage saying that he's [[MurderTheHypotenuse in the way]]. This is also a result of the Joker's obsession with Batman and subsequent rejection of her advances.
25	** [[Characters/DCAUPoisonIvy Poison Ivy]] mockingly plays this up in her [[Recap/BatmanTheAnimatedSeriesE5PrettyPoison debut episode]] after Batman futilely tries to spit out her [[DruggedLipstick poison]] following their short but passionate kiss, cooing that he "hurt her feelings" and now won't share the antidote [[BlatantLies like she was planning to]].

Deciding to help her out by getting her a date with another man, Peter disguises himself as a high society Englishman named "Reginald Knickerbocker."

71	** Twilight Sparkle has a freak out in "Feeling Pinkie Keen" when her normal approach of methodical research doesn't yield an answer to how Pinkie Pie can apparently predict the future with "Pinkie Sense".

73	* In the ''WesternAnimation/PepeLePew'' short "WesternAnimation/ReallyScent" Pepé removes his odor by locking himself in a deodorant plant so Penelope (Or known as "Fabrette", in this instance a black cat with an unfortunate birthmark and thus an arguably different character) would no longer be afraid of him.

Now more forceful and demanding, Penelope quickly corners the terrified Pepé, who, after smelling her new stench, wants nothing more than to escape the amorous female cat.

He attempts to use some hamburger necklace thing to mind-control Brenda to love him, and when that fails, [[MurderTheHypotenuse he tries sniping Young Man at the altar outright]]. The show cuts to black before the results are shown, it's not completely revealed if he killed him or not.
75	* Dr. Doofenshmirtz from ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'' was this in an episode. The outcome of his EvilPlan depended on whether or not his date went well, because (as he admitted) he can't handle rejection well.

90	** When Terra reveals to Beast Boy how she was working for Slade she begs him to say that despite that he'll still be her friend. Beast Boy says coldly "Slade was right, you don't have any friends."

She later punches him in the face when pulling a FaceHeelTurn and swearing revenge on him and the other Titans before trying to kill him.
91	* ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures'':
92	** Elmyra has a cute crush on Max and one short called "Can't Buy Me Love" has Elmyra meet an evil little girl called Rhoda. Elmyra sees hearts and positively MELTS when Rhoda says she'll let her be her best friend, and spends the rest of the picture bending over backwards to make Rhoda like her. It plays VERY much like any episode where Elmyra chases Max, only way more seriously, and heck, Elmyra even lets Rhoda HAVE Max (who doesn't want him after mere moments). And after she learns her lesson about not needing to give someone something so they'll like you, Rhoda comes by her window and says she'll be her friend again if Elmyra steals her mom's car keys and drives her to Utah. Instantly Elmyra says "okay" and rushes off eagerly to Rhoda's side. So not only is Elmyra completely infatuated with Rhoda, but apparently Rhoda can't leave Elmyra alone for five minutes, even after Elmyra dumped her. Elmyra also had a thing for chasing Fifi around, a voluptuous female skunk which persisted even after Fifi skunked her and had Elmyra go as far as to pose as Fifi's crush Pepe le Pew. Its notable that during all these times she shows affection towards the above respective characters, and they rebuff her she falls to pieces and cries.

96	* ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'': Dave's crush on Sky started off as a normal teen crush, but by episode 3 he started becoming more of stalker, and then devolved into a complete EntitledBastard acting just because likes Sky and Sky admitted to liking him he should be her girlfriend no matter how clear she makes it she doesn't even when she rejects him. It gets even worse when he sacrifices the game due to her rejection and acts like he deserves her even more because "he sacrificed himself for her" when really he quit because he didn't wanna be there if Sky rejected him.
97	* ''WesternAnimation/TotallySpies'': On three separate occasions there's guys who had Clover in a IHaveYouNowMyPretty situations who were like this, kidnapping her when she refused to be their "queen/wife".
